CZ-198 Application 1. Please tell us a little about yourself. Why do you want to be a part of the Czerka family? At this time, I am unable to disclose the complete information regarding my current employment. Rather than wish to become part of the Czerka Family, my Cartel is more interested is a mutually beneficial business relationship. We are looking for a suitable business partner and have decided to take this opportunity to reach out to you. We are dutifully aware of you past, present, and future achievements, and have decided your corporation would be an ideal partner for our new venture. We have decided that given the current atmosphere of the galactic economic climate, and that both the republic and imperial forces are otherwise preoccupied, the perfect opportunity has arisen. We would like to engage you in a discussion we believe you may be interested in. My cartel has long been involved in the underworld and sneaking behind the shadows of the galaxy. We are only spoken of in the dark corners, and our name is only whispered amoungst the closest circles for fear of reprisal. If you want something done, obtained, and "taken care of", we, are your friends. 2. At Czerka, we pride ourselves on our accomplishments. Please name three of your accomplishments that you are most proud of. (Please do not include family milestones such as marriages or the birth of your children.) Pride. An interesting term. Corporate pride is something we must all place great faith it, but should never outweigh the need and necessity of doing what must be done. We go to great lengths to secure our secrecy, and get the job done. Some of our more notable achievements are as follows: - We have procured a massive storehouse of deadly armaments, rare artifacts, unique biological specimans, advanced technological cybernetics, biological and chemcial research, and mmost important of all, talent. Our methods of procurement are unmatched. You may find it disturbing, but we have also aready visited your offices, hence why we have decided to approach you. - We have participated in every major galactic encounter, walked away unscathed, and un-noticed. We have helped alter the future of both republic and imperial forces to our better endeavors. We have also "directed" many other species and organizations. We have taken notice in your yours as well, and have decided that our goal are sufficiently similiar. - Our employees are top notch, and well compensated. A happy family, makes a productive family. We have recruited employees from every walk of life. We only the best of the best. We have recruited the foremost minds in biological weapon development and enhacement, Slicing, Cybernetics, Arms development, Archeology, and research. If you've ever gone looking for something, and been unable to find it, thats because we were there first. Our "security" division is prepared at a moments notice to deploy, and eliminae any obstacles in our way. 3. How did you go about achieving the accomplishments above. Would you say you would do "whatever it takes" for success? Our "methods" for achieving success are a trade secret, and something we cannot talk about at this time. We will however say, our our work speaks for itself. The best of our work is only seen in the results, but never a clue that it was us who was responsible We prefer to keep it that way. 4. Would you say you have a strong moral compass? Do you think this could get in the way of your job, should you be asked to do something...questionable? A moral compass only gets in the way of business. Whats bad for business, is bad for profits. Results are all that matters. Personal involvement and commitments tend to get in the way. The only thing that matters is the bottom line, in our pursuit for a more profitable and "directed future. We engage you to justify this otherwise. 5. You are about to enjoy our wide variety of complimentary cocktails and snacks, when you notice that your esteemed colleague's newest experiment is likely to break out of their confines while you are gone. How would you handle this situation? 1. The cocktails and snacks have already been laced with a chemical compound to aide in tracking. We now have locational information of prominent figures with the organization we are infiltrating. 2. We already have replaced the waiters and cooks with implants of our own. The are recording vocal imprints, retinal scans, DNA samples, and fingerprints of the high ranking members of the organization. 3. I do nothing about the experiment. The "experiment" is only meant as a diversion. In the ensuing chaos no one will notice, the real prize, the research data, is missing. The experiment was programmed to destroy any traces of the evidence. My "cowardice" has earned me an easy exit from the premises. 4. My Colleague is left to look the hero, earning the respect of the room, and the attention of the high ranking official's significant others. From there, it is an easy move to obtain authorization and access codes to your businesses most important files. The infiltration is complete, and no one the wiser. Please feel free to review our request. We look forward to hearing from you. -Nezra

Came from windows vista 32 bit on the same rig to 8. had a week to test it out after a partial upgrade. ASrock Z77 Pro4-m I5 3570K 8GB ram 64GB SSD for SWTOR only. 320GB SATA2 WD Green drive Nvidia 8800GTS 512 In vista - FPS was ~25-40 dropping to .9 from time to time. all on medium settings. In 8 - Cranked it all the way up to the highest settings, and it's consistant at 60 FPs - See VSYNC. Firstly, i only installed the OS, and dragged the SSD with SWTOR on it over. 8 automatically installed all the drivers automatically, and for SWTOR did the c++, DX9, and .net installs all by itself just from me starting the game. It is LEAPS and bounds better in terms of overall performance. the UI requires some getting used to, and because everything as far as vent, mumble, etc, are all based around a different OS require some owrk to play nicely. But, it's fairly minimal, and to be expected.

Baron'ness Of <Nezra's Crafting Cartel>(imp side) is also interested in coming!

Dominion, They didn't pay attention to my warnings on the PTS in the PTS forums. They didn't pay attention to my bug reports both on the PTS, nor on live, and didn't pay attention to any of the other 10 threads we've made regarding the exact issues you mentioned. Sadly, while I know we don't get along, but i think we can both agree something is definately off. However, given you tend to run more or less at the same level as i, i do have to ask if you noticed from reading the actual parses, that it's the second mainhand shot of unload that is not receiving the correct damage modifications as the 1st and 3rd. Accuracy definately appears to have an issue, as while none of my tech attacks miss, at 98.35 i actually have had MH Unload shots miss on both trash and boss fights. Due to overall bugginess as previously mentioned, i fear i cannot obtain any sort of an accurate count to the affect on my overall dps. As mentioned, with the railshot issue to both damage and not being a "free" ability, and the resulting heat issue, it's exceedingly difficult to fall into any sort of a sustainable rotation without the extreme use of rapid shots. The pure randomness really mucks of the parses.

Would like to take a second to give mad props to my peeps over in SG! Grats! Way to Prove Pot5 for Republic!

I am all for legitimacy of a kill and progression in good fun and good times, but you cannot undo what has already been done. The playing field is no longer on par for anyone. These are my opinions, and not that of my guild's. I'll get shot for saying or even posting this. The truth of the matter is, as I stated before, pandora's box is already opened. It cannot realistically be undone. Given my history with knowing your guild, I will assume that it is not intentional nor will i take the last part of this comment to be derogatory or offensive, as i do not assume it's meant that way. However, the term "Legitimate" can no longer realistically be applied in the current context. The effort of having said legitimate kill is quite a mute point. It ceased to be after the first full clear of the instance. I like you guys, so before you think it, there is no animosity in this. There are several sides to the problem that predicate this. None of which are the absolute at the fault of any party, but, have an ultimate effect on the outcome. 1. Crafting & gearing. The accessability and availability of the what could be argued as game breaking end game items have become available at a pace significantly sooner than intended. Where there is human intelligence, alternate methods are abound. While in the grand scheme of 1 out of 16 this is marginal, when a larger portion of the raid group has access to a large pool of resources, or inversly in some cases, the lack of the same items, The playing field is unbalanced. As an example, While i cannot speak for them, Friendly Fire may or may not have access to the same pool of end game items, that ultimately leave them out of the same race we all started. This would be signficantly unfair. Given that the content was known to have an issue does not affect the legitimacy of their or any other 16 man who would also like to participate in a "reset" for the race of personal achievements, time and effort. If the initial bug from the PTS where it was impossible to even reach phase 2 persisted until the bug is fixed, it would have been less of an issue, BUT, The issue would still exist. 2. Information. A significant amount of this has become available to all parties. Through good faith or not, as a result of write ups and disassembling the mechanics of the fights, the information or even misinformation produced thus far breaks the equality of the situation. Sharing in ones achievements, theories, and strategies from an actual kill, is great fun for the community, and personal satisfaction, but also creates an uneven playing field. 3. Epeen. If the intent of the original post was the throwing down the gauntlet between interested parties, everyone should be invloved, not just the aforementioned individuals. However, because of things like #1, it's askewed and we cannot exclude nor include everyone, and expect justification from the community as a whole through exclusion. If it's just to flex whose epeen is stronger, a much more private setting than the publicly available forums is a much better setting. Otherwise, we risk alienating and down playing the achievements of other non-included participants openly. If such an agreement is reached, it would need to be done in a private setting, with rules and terms, agreed upon by all participants in a manner fair to all parties. The only legitimacy of it would need to be made available only to said participants. Being honor bound would be the only way to make this viable, and again, appears it would take significantly more resources from any or all parties to define a kill as legitimate, yet on a fair basis. 4. Achievements. No one cannot ask anyone to concede their achievements. Doing so causes alienation of some individuals while others may not, both in the same guild, and in other guilds. Defining something as legitimate, unfortunately does just that. It causes hostilities towards a sitation out the of control of anyone, and for no inherent purpose, intended or not. Friendly competition is fine, but Hostile competition is unhealthy. Forced or provoked, secession of ones self defined titles, recognized by a few or many individuals causes too much infighting, bad blood, and generally unnecessary hostilities. While i don't believe anyone in the collective guilds truly hates or slanders anyone in any other guild, the proposal in question may lead to this unnecessary outcome. Titles, self proclaimed or not, have meaning to people. Asking them to set it aside can be seen as a direct attack on one's person. While I commend the intent of this idea, I cannot in good faith call anything happening after the initial run as legitimate, with, or without bugs. Given other MMO's histories with similiar style bugs and "unpolished" content, this is no different. If the attempt is to marshal some internal competition amoungst those of us you indicated to participate, I would suggest contacting the respective participants you had in mind and setting up some sort of private, and in good fun, content, between the guild leaders of said groups, out of the eyes and ears of both our respective communities, as well as the general community to avoid hostilities. It sounds like fun. Given we have 3 AND more powerhouses present on our server, some fun wargames and healthy competition should exist between us. There is no reason we cannot do so in a more private setting, and have fun in doing so. After all my friends, this is just a game. We are all here to have fun, and it is what you make of it. BTW, for those of you whose eye's glossed over the first paragrah, there is no TL;DR, My spelling is atrocious, grammer is defunct, and punctuation on par with someone who uses notepad to write his responses to avoid timeouts. Oh, wait, I did it again.

Pandora's Box has already been opened....

We tried after the instance was cleared. also tried with te Deep wiggler pet we obtain. Neither had any effect.

I experienced this ALOT. My ultimate determination is because i was possibly not running into the "portal" at a correct angle, and the game assuming i hit the ring itself. To counteract this, i jumped from every platform into the ring, and stopped dying.

My business in general has picked up quite well. Being the only crew skill that can craft PVP items(See Crystals, even though they have a limited usefulness) is a minor benefit. However, with regards to even with the new content, i still sell 26 enhancements and hilts, as well as the new 27's. There's always a market for it, its just a matter of finding the right buyer. I refuse to use the GTN, and my Cartel works closely with a large number of both Progression and casual guilds of both factions. We provide a great number of services in addition to artificing. Arguably, Cybertech is defiantely better off from a financial standpoint, however, given the broad range of crafters we employ, both within and outside of our network of contacts, we can find individuals we actively seek us out. The relationships you forge have a massive impact on your outcome. I do quite well with artifice myself, as do most of my members. Most of this is due to the relationships we have. My approach is different than most. and may not work for everyone everywhere, but it has allowed me to make a decent amount of credits on the side, and for other folks. While I realize this may not actively help you, the one thing i can stress greatly, is actively seek out guilds, friends, etc, as a place to start. Once your name is known, people flock to you. The GTN is a great place to start, as there is a bit of name recogition, but nothing is more satisifying as having an email from a guild leader, or individuals requesting YOU make stuff. Word of mouth gets things sold faster than anything else. Prior to the Xfers, if you asked people on POT5 for something, random people in chat would even direct you to my cartel for your needs. It's not been shafted so to speak, however, it is defiantely a free economy. Its more about how you conduct yourself and business, in determining what kind of sales you can expect.

Adrenals/stims: You can click the item multiple times, while it is on cooldown, no error message, but consumes the item. From my post in the Bounty Hunter/Mercenary forums: There was an issue on the PTS, that I included in my thread that also wound up getting buried, with BH mechanics. This includes 4 items, based on the arsenal spec: 1. "Free" Railshot: with the 4pc set bonus and talents, this is quite commonly not free any longer, at least consistantly. Randomly, it will still cost an additional 8 heat. There is no rhyme or reason i was able to ascertain. sometimes it would not happen for 5 or 6 railshots, and others it would be every railshot. 2. Target swapping: currently, there is alot more of this happening, which throws resource management out of whack. Wind up time & heat has always been an issue with multiple target swapping phases, but the new content makes this happen more often. 3. Insta-heal: The heal still uses heat, and if used, as with the "free" railshot not being free, throws the resource management out of whack. Given the classes extreme reliance on careful resource management, the above have a heavy impact on the class in general, requiring more "filler" rapid shots. This is likely why you are seeing heat issues. I would recommend watching your heat during railshot procs. The other non-heat related issue revolved around Unload Procs. The 2nd Mainhand tick does not appear to have the correct coefficients applied. For instance: 1. On Kephiss in TFB, when he gets the stacking debuff to take increased damage, the amount done for each of my 3 MH Crit attacks can be 14k, 4.5k, 14k. 2. On normal unbuffed attacks, crits are usually 4.5k, 2.5k, 4.5k. While I reported this both in game, to the devs, and on the forums, the issues described above do indeed appear to be happening on live as well. I'd be happy to provide the relevant sections of the parses if anyone is interested.

i wonder... if this could be done with Revan's Mask....
